PIA’s Better Business Bureau rating was being “updated” when we last checked in June 2017. We found some complaints online about PIA’s customer service, but we also noticed that PIA staffers responded to complaints on Reddit, and that the company recently (May 2017) said it was adding customer-support staff.

Unfortunately, you can’t change the username that PIA assigns you. That might make it harder for a hacker to break in, and serves to completely randomize and anonymize your identity, but it’s a lot harder to remember than a username you made up yourself.

On the downside, these gateways are located in only 25 countries, mostly in the developed world, leaving out places like Russia and China. The PIA VPN service has more than 3,000 connection points, which is easily the most of any VPN service we’ve seen.

Here you will find step by step tutorial how to set up PPTP VPN on Windows 7. PPTP is the first VPN protocol and it’s pretty fast.

[36] MikroTik’s implementation does not support the UDP protocol or LZO compression, which limits transfer speeds attainable. OpenVPN has been implemented in some manufacturer router firmware, such as the D-Link DSR-250[35] and some MikroTik Routers. MikroTik said in 2010 that they would not continue developing OpenVPN in favor of SSTP.

PIA will stop my Internet traffic until it reconnects to the vpn, where torguard says it’s connected but isn’t, you have to reconnect,every time. All of those are great in my opinion what’s not so great is the main feature the vpn app. I have had multiple vpns my favorite that I have come across is Private Internet Access. PIA also has a steady and fast torrent download speed where torguard can be high-speed at times but tends to be very inconsistent. I tested each 10 times. I purchased a month of Torguard because I was wanting its extra features like the proxy, stealth mode and email service. Compared to PIA the the app is clunky especially on Android. In the end torguard is only with it if you need stealth mode easy to use encrypted email or proxy service otherwise the cheaper and better service is PIA. That is not just with torrents either using the speed test by ookla pia won or tied every every time. Walking out of the house my phone will switch from wifi to data.

PfSense is an open source firewall/router computer software distribution based on FreeBSD. Unlike some router firmware, pfSense continues to gain popularity with active development and new features being added. A PC router running pfSense will be more complicated to setup, but it does offer some great features.

Official support is also available for VPN routers like DDWRT, Tomato and pfsense firewalls. TorGuard is compatible with almost all major OS platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, with detailed ‘Getting started’ guides available for each.

Most other VPN services tripled or quadrupled the baseline time; the next best score was CyberGhost’s, which doubled the baseline time. 7 seconds, a slowdown of only 34 percent from the baseline download time. However, PIA blew the competition away by downloading a 428MB, 4K-resolution video clip of astronauts in space from NASA’s servers in 4 minutes and 25.

PIA is owned and operated by London Trust Media, a small company in Los Angeles. Unlike many other VPN services, PIA doesn’t hide its website registration behind a proxy, and the officers of London Trust Media are easily found with a Google search.
